The cover will be released on iTunes this Friday, (January 15) and can be streamed below. Speaking to NME about Bowie and their decision to cover the song, James Brown of the band said: “Along with the millions of people all over the world who’s lives he had touched, we were shocked and saddened to hear the news.”

“We’re all huge fans of his work, so at band practice on Monday night we decided to learn and record a tribute to him and his incredible legacy. Here is a cover of one of our favourite tracks, ‘Ziggy Stardust’. All profits from the track will go to Teenage Cancer Trust which is an amazing cause. Long live The Goblin King!”
